Annoyed to see Tait back, hopefully he won't get anywhere near the test side until he learns a few things. Want to see some accuracy this tournament, pace and swing can only do so much.

Pretty damn good First XI can be made from that sqaud though, so provided there are no withdrawals from top players or spats over the tournament location they should be the thouroughly deserving favourites.

Flem i will let others take about other players or may later elaborate,1 to wthc xavier doherty left arm spinner,on form the best one day spinner apart from brycemcgain who is too old.Does this thing when coming into bowl where he changes his step and bowls from behinds the stumps,tends to throw the batsmen off,everytime.Very good figures.
With a 7 - 3 vote likely for pakistan keeping the tournament,and the elite aussies following the aca and fica and the ca expect the elite players to pull out.Most likely an australian A team,but 1 which is still competitive and likely for upsets.
Of the elite squad only shane watson said he will go.
NZ will have the same problem styris and oram said they won't go.
